This volume has-been written primarily with a view to enable collectors and those who 

 are interested in old furniture to discriminate between the various styles of furniture and 

 to distinguish the characteristic features of different periods. A connected account is 

 given of the rise and progress of the manufacture of domestic furniture in England. 



As in the companion volume, "Chats on English China," typical examples have been 

 selected as illustrations. The book commences with the Elizabethan period and the 

 influence of the Renaissance on this country, and Jacobean, late seventeenth century, 

 William and Mary, and Queen Anne styles, are then fully dealt with. The furniture of 

 Chippendale, Hepplewhite and of Sheraton receives detailed treatment. In addition 

 to those on English furniture separate chapters are given showing the contemporaneous 

 influence of Italian, Dutch, and French furniture upon English makers.
